A US Homeland Security Casa 212 has just passed London after coming down the country from Wick and Transatlantic crossing. Staying at 9,000ft, so I wonder if they are ferrying it to the factory for repair with a pressurisation issue ?

I just happened to be passing Mildenhall and Lakenheath today. They had the usual KC135's, RC135's C130's and F15's blasting around.

Not terribly recently but I got to see the NASA SOFIA aircraft overhead (registration N747NA) last fall whilst commuting home in the southwest corner of Colorado where we live. Just a strikingly pretty planform, I wasn't used to seeing such a stubby fuselage on such long wings !

Watched an AN-2 stagger off and fly around on Sunday.
Disappointed my 18 month old grandson is missing out on Pitch Black this year, courtesy of Covid. Should have been showing him F/A-18 A, B, F and G, F-15, F-16, Su-30, Rafaele, Gripen, F-35, C-17, C-27 and A-400 amongst others.

I've got an RAF Sentinel orbiting me at 41000' - should I be worried? 
Phew, he's gone!
Two A400s in at Gatwick this morning, one now droning round the patch at Southampton, the other has been to Edinburgh and now heading further north.
